Who’s Telling Truth About The Firmament On Earth Quran Or Bible Or Waters Above

Who’s Telling Truth About The 7 Layers Of Firmament Above The Earth Quran Or Bible Or Both Waters Above And Below... Day Two Creation is the most overlooked day in creation week story. It's important to understand the home setting that God created for Himself, the angels/spirits and for us. Join us as I explore the overall significance of day two on Earth, while also hinting at its eschatological implications nearing the end of the video. 1958 Encyclopedia Americana mention the dome above are flat earth in Antarctic. The same year the Antarctic Treaty was born, prohibiting free travel under the 60. south width. and the Sun is only 3,002 Miles Above the Earth Surface in the 7 layer of the Firmament from the water above and the water below.Show more

In 1956, US military aircraft proved that a dome covers the Earth at a height of 13000 feet (~ 4000 meters) of 90 degrees south (80. degrees). This is left out of all the new edition of this 1959 On Encyclopedia Americana Documents..

‘Then God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” And God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. And God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.’ Genesis 1:6–8

On the second day of Creation Week, God continued His work of preparing the earth so that plants could grow in it, and animals and people could live on it. The Bible says that on this day He made an ‘expanse’ around the earth, and that this ‘separated the water under the expanse from the water above it’. God called the expanse the ‘heaven’, which we might call ‘sky’. This is the atmosphere and the space beyond.

Although you can’t see the atmosphere, it is very important, because it contains the air we need to breathe to live. Also birds need it so they can have somewhere to fly. Otherwise they would never get off the ground.

The air is made up of mainly nitrogen, some oxygen, and a tiny amount of other gases such as carbon dioxide. These are in just the right amounts. If there were a lot more oxygen, then a single spark could set the world on fire. If there were a lot more nitrogen, we would suffocate. Carbon dioxide is essential for plants to live, but is deadly to humans in large quantities. Earth’s atmosphere has only a tiny amount of carbon dioxide, which is plenty for all the plants, because they use it very efficiently, and this small amount is harmless for us. By comparison, the atmosphere on Mars is 95% carbon dioxide. This is one reason why people could not live on Mars without special breathing equipment.

At the end of Day 1, the earth was still completely covered by water. If you had been there on Day 2, you would have seen nothing but water. You might reasonably ask: Why did God make so much water on Earth?

The vast amount of water on Earth helps keep Earth’s temperature fairly steady. This is not just because there’s a lot of it, but also because it takes a lot more of the sun’s energy to warm water than it does to warm land. So the land heats up during the day and cools down during the night more quickly than the ocean does. This gives different air temperatures over the land than over the sea, and this generates winds. Winds keep the air we breathe fresh, as well as bringing clouds and rain to the land.

Water! We drink it, cook with it, wash in it, and swim in it. We take it for granted—most of us just turn on a tap and out it comes.

However, not everyone is so fortunate; some people have to pump it out of the ground, and others need to carry it long distances from wells or rivers.

Without water we would die in a few days. This is because it plays a part in almost every process that occurs in our bodies. Our bodies are mainly water, and water is a major part of our blood.

One of the most important things about water is that it can dissolve many other substances. Because of this, the water in our blood can carry vitamins and minerals from the food we have eaten to the rest of our body, where they are needed for growth, repair and energy.

Water contains dissolved oxygen from the air, enabling fish and other water-animals to live in it.

Water also flushes our bodies of waste products, one of which is carbon dioxide produced by our cells. The water in our blood dissolves this and carries it back to our lungs where we breathe it out. When water evaporates, it absorbs heat from its surroundings. This is why sweating cools us down.

One of the most unusual but important properties of water is that it expands when it freezes. This is why icebergs float, and why ice forms first on the top of water instead of on the bottom. This means that fish can still swim underneath the ice. Otherwise, all the water in a river or lake could freeze and the fish would be killed. God certainly knew what He was doing when He designed water to be the way it is.

In 1877, an Italian astronomer called Giovanni Schiaparelli thought he saw some thin dark lines on Mars which he called channels (Italian canali). An American astronomer called Percival Lowell thought he meant canals, so the story spread that not only did Mars have water, but also intelligent beings able to build canals.

But no streams of water or canals built on purpose by intelligent beings have been found by the several NASA space missions to Mars. Despite this, evolutionary scientists continue to hope to find Martian microbes in some icy Martian pot-hole. Why? Because they believe that where there is water there could be life.

However, even if there is water on Mars, or on any other planet, this does not mean there will be life there. Life does not arise from water by itself. It is the result of special creation by God.

There are massive differences between NASA’s description of the natural world, and the Bible’s description. When faced with such opposing models of the cosmos we must ask ourselves who is telling the truth. Should we believe NASA or the Bible? Or The Quran, also known as the Koran, is the central religious text of Islam, believed by Muslims to be a revelation from God. It consists of 114 chapters of varying length, called surahs, and includes allusions to narratives familiar to Judaism and Christianity. According to Islamic belief, the Quran was revealed by the angel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad in the West Arabian towns Mecca and Medina beginning in 610 and ending with Muhammad's death in 632 CE. The Quran is considered the definitive word of God spoken to the prophet Muhammad by the angel Gabriel, and translation of the work is seen as blasphemy.

In this article, my objective is to take a look at what NASA tells us, what the Bible tells us, and what evidence exists to prove what is true. Although this isn’t an exhaustive list of Bible verses describing the world in which we live, I did spend a great deal of time searching the scriptures in order to compile the most exhaustive list I could compile without utterly exhausting myself.

Some people might be tempted to argue that not all scriptures should be interpreted literally. While that is true in some cases, it is not true in the majority of cases. When studying the Bible, a good rule to follow is if the plain sense makes sense, we needn’t seek any other sense. In addition, we can look at the world around us and sense things for ourselves using our own senses, which makes even more sense.

The Bible Tells Us the Earth Doesn’t Move
NASA tells us the earth is spinning at the speed of 1,040 mph while traveling around the sun at 66,000 mph, and our solar system is hurling through the Milky Way galaxy at 490,000 mph, and the Milky Way galaxy is careening through infinite space at the unbelievable speed of 1,000,000 mph.

Obviously, NASA loves big numbers. But no legitimate scientific evidence exists to support of any of these claims. Instead, all evidence supports a stationary earth, which is exactly what the Bible describes.

God tells us in his word the earth does not move. There isn’t a single scripture that implies the earth is in motion. There are, however, many Bible verses describing its immovability: the earth cannot be moved, it has foundations, it has pillars, and it is God’s footstool. Note: All scriptures that follow are taken from the King James Bible, except the one noted from the New American Standard Version (NASV).

The Earth Cannot Be Moved
1 Chronicles 16:30 “…the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.”
Psalm 93:1 “…the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.”
Psalm 96:10 “…the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved…”
Psalm 104:5 “Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.”
The Earth Has Foundations
Job 38:4 “Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?…”
Job 38:6 “Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof…”
Psalm 82:5 “…the foundations of the earth…”
Psalm 104:5 “Who laid the foundations of the earth…”
Isaiah 24:18 “…and the foundations of the earth do shake.”
Isaiah 48:13 “Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth…”
Jeremiah 31:37 “…and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath…”
Micah 6:2 “…strong foundations of the earth…”
The Earth Has Pillars
1 Samuel 2:8 “…for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them.”
Job 9:6 “Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.”
Psalm 75:3 “The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it.”
The Earth is God’s Footstool
Isaiah 66:1 “…the earth is my footstool…”
Matthew 5:35 “Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool…”
Acts 7:49 “…earth is my footstool…”
The Bible Tells Us the Earth is Flat
NASA tells us the earth is a sphere and that “gravitational forces” are what keep us from falling off a spinning ball. But gravity is just a hoax invented by Freemason Isaac Newton. There is no scientific proof for the existence of gravity, just as there is no scientific proof the earth is a sphere. On the contrary, all evidence is in support of the earth being flat. (Check out 200 Proofs Earth is Not a Spinning Ball.)

The Bible tells us exactly where we live. The earth is a flat circle, with length and breadth. It has four corners (the four points of direction: North, South, East, West), and four quarters. The earth has four winds — which is exactly how many jet streams meteorologists say there are (and jet streams make no sense on a ball earth but perfect sense on a flat earth).

Scripture also tells us the earth has borders, boundaries, and ends (which don’t exist on a sphere), and numerous verses refer to the face of the earth. In the mathematical science of geometry, a face is defined as a flat planar surface. Therefore, a sphere doesn’t have a face.

The Earth is a Circle
Isaiah 40:22 “It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers.” Note: Isaiah knew the difference between a circle and a ball, since Isaiah 22:18 reads, “toss thee like a ball”. In Hebrew, circle and ball are different words. The Hebrew word for “like a ball” is: kad-dūr כַּדּ֕וּר, whereas “the circle” is translated ḥūḡ ח֣וּג.
The Earth Has Length and Breadth
Job 11:9 “The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.”
Job 38:5 “Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?”
Job 38:18 “Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.”
The Earth Has Four Corners, Four Quarters, Four Winds
Isaiah 11:12 “…the four corners of the earth.”
Revelation 7:1 “…the four corners of the earth…”
Revelation 20:8 “…the four quarters of the earth…”
Jeremiah 49:36 “…the four winds from the four quarters of heaven…”
Ezekiel 37:9 “…Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain…”

Daniel 11:4 “…the four winds of heaven…”
Matthew 24:31 “…they shall gather together his elect from the four winds…”

The Bible Tells Us the Earth Is Covered by a Firmament Dome
NASA tells us all that exists beyond the earth’s atmosphere is “outer space”, a seemingly endless vacuum where only a few particles of dust and a few molecules of various random gases float around in a void. The Bible, however, tells us there are waters above the earth, and that a firmament divides the waters above the earth’s atmosphere from the waters on the earth.

Since real science always aligns with the Bible, it shouldn’t be surprising that researchers led by the University of Colorado found scientific evidence of the firmament, which they describe as a glass wall in space. And even before that, it seems Admiral Byrd’s expeditions to Antarctica were for the purpose of finding evidence of the firmament wall coming down to touch the surface of the earth (this 8-minute video offers convincing proof).

Genesis 1:6 “And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”
Genesis 1:7 “And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.”
Genesis 1:8 “And God called the firmament Heaven.”
Genesis 1:14 “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven…”
Genesis 1:15 “…let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth…”
Genesis 1:17 “And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth…”
Genesis 1:20 “…and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.”
Job 37:18 “Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?”
Psalm 19:1 “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.”
Psalm 148:4 “Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.”
Isaiah 40:22 “…that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in”
Daniel 12:3 “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament…”
Amos 9:6 “…And has founded His vaulted dome over the earth…” (NASV)
Ezekiel 1:22 “And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.”
Ezekiel 1:25 “And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads…”
Ezekiel 1:26 “And above the firmament that was over their heads…”
The Bible Tells Us the Sun, Moon & Stars are in the Firmament
NASA tells us the sun is 93 million miles away, the moon is 238,000 miles away, and the stars are light-years away. However, all scientific evidence points to the sun, moon, and stars being quite near. For a review of the evidence, consider how we can zoom in on the moon and stars with commercial cameras, and how crepuscular sun rays prove the nearness of the sun.

All this evidence lines up with the Bible, which tells us the sun, moon, and stars are in the firmament. We are also told the stars will one day fall from heaven and land on the earth. The only way that is possible is if the stars are located within the firmament located directly above a flat earth.

Genesis 1:14 “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven…”
Genesis 1:15 “…let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth…”
Genesis 1:16 “And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.”
Genesis 1:17 “And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth…”
Genesis 1:18 “God set these lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth…”
Psalm 8:3 “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained…”
Matthew 24:29 “…the stars will fall from heaven…”
Mark 13:25 “…the stars of heaven shall fall…”
Revelation 6:13 “…the stars of heaven fell unto the earth…”
Revelation 8:10 “…and there fell a great star from heaven…”
Revelation 9:1 “…I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth…”
Revelation 12:4 “And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth…”
The Bible Tells Us the Sun is in Motion
NASA tells us the earth rotates around a stationary sun, but nothing about the heliocentric model of the universe has ever been scientifically proven. The Bible, however, tells us both the sun and the moon move. Here’s a 13-minute video explaining how the sun moves above flat earth.

Genesis 15:12 “And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram…”
Genesis 15:17 “…when the sun went down, and it was dark…”
Genesis 19:23 “The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.”

Genesis 32:31 “…as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him…”
Exodus 17:12 “…and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.”
Exodus 22:3 “If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him…”

Psalm 19:4–6 “In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.”
Psalm 50:1 “…from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.”

Ecclesiastes 1:5 “The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, And hastens to the place where it arose.”
Matthew 5:45 “…for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good…”
The Bible Tells Us the Sun, Moon & Stars are Unique Luminaries
NASA tells us the sun is basically a star that is closer to earth than all the other stars. They also tell us the moon is a solid rock ball that merely reflects the light of the sun. What NASA is saying, then, is there is only one type of light source in the universe: suns (our sun, the moon reflecting our sun, and all the stars which are just far away suns).

However, the Bible (and our own observation) tells us the sun, moon, and stars are each unique luminaries. Scripture makes it clear the sun gives one kind of light, the moon another, and the stars another. In addition, it tells us each star is different from every other star.

Here’s a 5-minute video showing what different stars look like when viewed through a Nikon P900 camera. It is just as the Bible describes, where one star differs in glory from another star.

Psalm 136:8–9 “The sun to rule by day…The moon and stars to rule by night…”

Mark 13:24 “…the moon shall not give her light…”
1 Corinthians 15:41 “There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.”
Revelation 21:23 “…the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it…”
The Bible Tells Us Heaven is Above the Earth
NASA tells us the earth is a spinning ball in constant motion with no fixed location in the universe. That makes it mighty difficult to imagine where God and heaven might be, which is precisely their aim. But the Bible tells us very clearly where heaven is located. Heaven is quite literally directly above the earth, and the earth is directly under heaven.

Genesis 6:17 “…to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven…”

The Bible Tells Us God is in Heaven

Who Will You Believe?
The Bible is God’s Word. In this article I’ve listed 218 Bible verses describing the nature of our dwelling place on the earth, and the location of God’s dwelling place directly above us in heaven. Are you going to believe God, who created everything and cannot lie? Or are you going to believe what NASA tells you, despite the total lack of scientific and observable evidence?

As for me, I’m going to toss out all the lies NASA has told during the course of my entire life, and I’m going to believe what the Bible (and real science and my own observation) tells me about the world in which we live. Take heed, lest ye be deceived by the deceiver!

Surprisingly enough, certain Ayahs & the Classical Exegesis based on the Interpretation of the pious predecessors , opine the concept for ‘Heavens’, more like a Crafty construction of the Firmament, similar to the Biblical Cosmology. While Heavens used in the Texts, no way seems to convey an Infinite Vacuum space or Universe, unlike what the Modern speakers interpret, Allah knows best however. Below are some Classical exegeses:

“Who has created the seven heavens one above the other; you can see no fault in the creation of the Most Gracious. Then look again. Can you see any rifts”. (Al-Mulk 67:5)

Imam IbnKathir(Rah) comments, “meaning stacked one on top of the other. Are they connected to each other, meaning that they are in elevated ascension, some of them being stacked above others, or separated with space between them There are two views concerning this, and the most correct opinion seems to be the latter as is proven in the Hadith of Isra' (the Prophet's Night Journey) and other narrations. Concerning Allah's statement, (you can see no fault in the creation of the Most Gracious.) means, it (the creation) is done in a flawless manner, and these are connected with each other so as to forms a straight level, having no disunion, conflict, inconsistency, deficiency, flaw or defect. (Then look again. Can you see any rifts) meaning, look at the sky and pay close attention to it. Do you see any flaw, deficiency, defect or rifts in it Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, Ad-Dahhak, Ath-Thawri and others said concerning Allah's statement, (Then look again. Can you see any rifts) that it means cracks. As-Suddi said that, (Can you see any rifts) means any tears….”. (Vol 10, Page 81-82) End of quote. The firmament is something mentioned in nearly all scriptures and stories from past civilizations. It is something that masonic science and elite authorities have hidden from us for a long time.

Few translators of the Quran prefer to use the word firmament to describe its authentic nature to people. However, in Arabic, the word is (سَمَآء) sky or heavens .This word is found around 300 times in the Quran. Due to our indoctrination as children and faked moon landings, we have been led to believe that humans can go beyond our atmosphere into what we have been told is a vacuum of outer space. The Qur'an tells us otherwise and gives us clues about the dome that lies above our heads, which may in fact be more than just the Van Allen radiation belt.

Government-owned space agencies, which have been caught continuously lying to the masses.They convince people that there is no throne of Allah beyond the sky, and they could race past the firmament, sending monkeys and even humans into space. But we must understand the reality of Allah’s throne from this verse of the Quran. His Throne does extend over the sky and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them, for He is the Most High, the Supreme. (Quran 2:255)

The firmament has been built strong and impenetrable
And the heaven He has raised high, and He has set up the Balance, in order that you may not transgress the balance (55:7-8)
Keep in mind that the verb, transgress (taṭghaw - تَطْغَوْا), which has been used in the above verse, can also mean overflow or overpower. In other cases, this verb is used to mean going too far, in the case of a transgressor. The following verse states that Allah created the sky firmament with strength (Bi-aydi)
And the firmament we constructed with strength, and indeed, we are [its] Expanders. (Quran, 51:47)
Now imagine a firmament or dome that is strong enough to resist nuclear missiles and rockets that are launched straight up into the sky. This is further supported by the verse: And We made above you seven strong ones (Quran, 78:12). The word used for strong in this case is شِدَادًا. That word, shidādan, can also mean intense, mighty, and hard. A good example where this word is used is when Allah speaksabout the hearts that are hardened, to the point which they become harder than stones. Therefore, this firmament is strong, hard, and impenetrable.

Firmament is made up of seven skies
Allah is He Who created seven Firmaments and of the earth a similar number. Through the midst of them (all) descends His Command: that ye may know that Allah has power over all things, and that Allah comprehends, all things in (His) Knowledge (Quran, 65:12)

Firmament is a ceiling/canopy /dome/covering/structure
Allah refers to the sky or firmament as a structure (bināan - بِنَاءً):
Who made the earth a bed for you and the heaven a structure and (Who) sends down rain from the cloud then brings forth with it subsistence for you of the fruits. (Quran 2:22)

It is Allah who made for you the earth a place of settlement and the sky a ceiling and formed you and perfected your forms and provided you with good things. That is Allah, your Lord; then blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds. (Quran 40:64)
Qur'an clearly uses a word (saqfan - سَقْفًا) to describe the firmament / sky as a ceiling or canopy can be illustrated in the following verses:

"And we have made the heaven a Roof, safe and well guarded". (21:32)

IbnKathir (Rah) says, "means , covering the earth like a Dome above it.
This is like the ayah... "With hands we construct the heavens. Verily, we are able to extend the vastness of space there of". (51:47), means, "we made it vast and we brought its roof higher without pillars to support it, and thus it is hanging independently". (Vol 9, 273)

By the Canopy Raised High (52:5)

This triliteral root sīnqāffā (سقف) occurs four times in the Quran as the noun saqf (سَقْف), and in all cases it is used to mean roof, ceiling, or canopy. This is shown in 16:26, wherein it says, "...so the roof fell upon them from above them", as well as 43:33. Therefore, should we not think of the sky as a canopy?

Firmament can break or open only by the will of Allah
The Quran makes several references to the Firmament breaking open, hence implying that it is a solid-structured dome above our heads. Here is one example:
The heavens may almost rend asunder from above them and the angels sing the praise of their Lord (Quran 42:5)
All translators have used this word to mean rent asunder or break apart. The word used for rend asunder or break apart is yatafaṭṭarna (يَتَفَطَّرْنَ). Some more examples where this word is used:
The heavens almost rupture (yatafaṭṭarna) therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation (19:90)
When the sky breaks apart (infaṭarat) (82:1).
The heaven will break apart (munfaṭirun) therefrom; ever is His promise fulfilled. (73:18)

In all cases, all the various translators have used the words rent asunder or break apart. There are more verses which mention the Heavens or Firmament breaking open, this time using the word tashaqqaqu. This same word is used to describe the splitting or breaking apart of earth, stones, moon, and of course, Heavens:

The Day when the heaven will split open (tashaqqaqu) with clouds, and the angels will be sent down in successive descent. (25:25)

There is also a mention of this verse in 55:37, which states, "And when the heaven is split openand becomes rose-coloured like oil."

See you not that Allah has subjected to you (mankind) all that is on the earth, and the ships that sail through the sea by His Command? He withholds the heaven from falling on the earth except by His Leave. Verily, Allah is, for mankind, full of Kindness, Most Merciful. Surah Al-Hajj 22:65.
Ibnkathir (rah) says regarding, If Allah willed, He could give the sky permission to fall on the earth, and whoever is in it would be killed, but by His kindness, mercy and power, He withholds the heaven from falling on the earth, except by His leave.

Verily! Allah grasps the heavens and the earth lest they move away from their places, and if they were to move away from their places, there is not one that could grasp them after Him. Truly, He is Ever Most Forbearing, OftForgiving. Surah Fatir Verse 51

The lowest sky holds the stars and its likes
The Qur'an also mentions that the lower firmament is adorned with stars in order to protect against shaitans. They are chased off by a flame:

And We adorned the lower heaven with brilliant stars and to guard; that is the decree of the Mighty, the Knowing. (Quran, 41:12)

And certainly We have made strongholds in the heaven and We have made it fair seeming to the beholders. And We guard it against every accursed Shaitan. But he who steals a hearing, so there follows him a visible flame (Quran, 15:16-18).

Surely We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment, the stars, and a safeguardagainst every rebellious Shaitan. They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they are thrown at from every side, being driven off, and for them is a perpetual chastisement, except him who snatches off but once, then there follows him a brightly shining flame. (Quran, 37:6-10)

Even the creation of jinn are banned from entering the lowest firmament:

And that we sought to reach heaven, but we found it filled with strong guards and flaming stars. And that we used to sit in some of the sitting-places thereof to steal a hearing, but he who would (try to) listen now would find a flame lying in wait for him. (Quran: 72:8-9)

What is fascinating about the above verses is their resemblance to passages found in theBible , Book of Enoch, which was discovered many centuries after the Qur'an was revealed. The verse is as follows,

From thence I went to another place to the west of the ends of the earth. And I saw a burning fire which ran without resting, and paused not from its course day or night but (ran) regularly. And I asked saying: 'What is this which rests not?' Then Raguel, one of the holy angels who was with me, answered me and said unto me: 'This course of fire which you have seen is the fire in the west which persecutes all the luminaries of heaven.' (Book of Enoch, Ch. 23: 1-4)

Water above the firmament
Thegovernment run billion dollars fed space agencies, are so called searching for traces of water on Moon and Mars (Fake voyages) and still can’t find it. Few insights from the Quran will show us water exists above the heavens.
Quranic verses that prove water above the heavens

A. It is an estabilished fact from the other verses of the Quran and sahih hadith that Allah’s throne is on the Arsh above the heavens. Keeping this in mind read the following verse

And He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six days - and [before that] His Throne was upon the water that He may test you, who of you is better in conduct If you were to say (O Muhammad): 'All of you will surely be raised after death', then those who disbelieve will certainly say: 'This is nothing but plain sorcery. Surah Hud 11:7

B. The flood during the time of Prophet Nuh (Peace be upon him) is a proof that heavens hold water above.

So, We opened the gates of the heaven with water Munhamir, Torrential rain, the only water that fell from the sky before that day and ever since was from clouds. But the sky's gates were opened on them that day, and therefore, the water that came down was not from clouds. So both the waters (of the earth and the heaven) met according to a matter ordained." ( TafsiribnKathir Surah Al Qamar 11-13)

In this it is clearly mentioned that the rain was from the heavens and not the clouds, as the gates of heaven were opened. The word used here is Assamaa

To counter check , you can refer to Surah An Nurverse 43 where Allah uses the word sahaban for clouds to describe the rain that falls from clouds.

The SahihAhadith about Allah’s throne above water :

A. Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah said, 'Spend (O man), and I shall spend on you." He also said, "Allah's Hand is full, and (its fullness) is not affected by the continuous spending night and day." He also said, "Do you see what He has spent since He created the Heavens and the Earth? Nevertheless, what is in His Hand is not decreased, and His Throne was over the water and in His Hand there is the balance (of justice) whereby He raises and lowers (people). (Source: Sahih Al Bukhari : Volume 6, Book 60, Number 206)

B ........and His Throne isover the water, and in His Other Hand is the Mizan (Scale) which He raises and lowers.'" (Source : Jami` at-Tirmidhi Vol. 5, Book 44, Hadith 3045 )

The Daeef Hadith of Sunan Abu Dawud about sea above the heavens :

Narrated Al-Abbas ibnAbdulMuttalib: I was sitting in al-Batha with a company among whom the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) was sitting, when a cloud passed above them.

The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) looked at it and said: What do you call this? They said: Sahab. He said: And muzn? They said: And muzn. He said: And anan? They said: And anan. (AbuDawud said: I am not quite confident about the word anan).

He asked: Do you know the distance between Heaven and Earth? They replied: We do not know. He then said: The distance between them is seventy-one, seventy-two, or seventy-three years. The heaven which is above it is at a similar distance (going on till he counted seven heavens). Above the seventh heaven there is a sea, the distance between whose surface and bottom is like that between one heaven and the next. Above that there are eight mountain goats the distance between whose hoofs and haunches is like the distance between one heaven and the next. Then Allah, the Blessed and the Exalted, is above that.

Biblical references

And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. (Genesis 1:7)

Praise Him, highest heavens, And the waters that are above the heavens! (Psalm 148:4)

Where is the sweet palatable sea ?
The arabic word for river is نهر (Nahar) (54 times in the Quran))

The arabic word for sea is بحر (Bahar)(41 times in the Quran)

For the readers’ interest, these are few references where Allah has used the word نهر (Nahar) for rivers

2:25, 2:74, 2:249, 2:266, 3:15, 3:136, 3:195, 3:198, 4:13 and many more

Also, few references where Allah has used the word بحر (Bahar) for sea

2:50, 2:164, 5:96, 6:59, 6:63,6:97 and many more

Some classical Arabic dictionaries say bahar can also refer to a lake or a pond but in the Quran and Hadiths it is never been used for that context.

Allah speaks of two seas in the Quran, and has specifically used it as Al bahrayni ( The two seas, 4 times in the Quran) . Two important verses are as follows

And it is He Who has let free the two seas, one palatable and sweet, and the other salt and bitter, and He has set a barrier and a complete partition between them. Quran (25:53)

Is not He (better than your gods) Who has made the earth as a fixed abode, and has placed rivers in its midst, and has placed firm mountains therein, and has set a barrier between the two seas (of salt and sweet water). Is there any ilah (god) with Allah? Nay, but most of them know not. Quran (27:61)

The existing translations are perfect for these verses, but unfortunately most of us have understood these verses wrongly, and explain it with an error.

Inspite of clear arabic terminologyof nahar and bahar , we assume the not mixing of the sweet sea and the salty sea, is the not mixing of the river water and sea water.

If you analyze, Allah speaks of a barrier that does not allow these two waters to meet or mix.

1. It is apparent that the river water mixes with the sea water without any barrier, due to which the salinity of the seasare maintained.On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of approximately 3.5% .This means that for every 1 litre (1000 mL) of seawater there are 35 grams of salts (mostly, but not entirely, sodium chloride) dissolved in it. This optimization provides the ideal environment for fishes, corals and other creatures to thrive in abundance in the sea. If river water stops mixing then the extreme salinity(also enhanced by evaporation), will make it impossible for life in the ocean, Like the dead sea that has no flora and fauna (33.7% saline)

So where is the barrier?

2. Today’s muslim speakers and writers on books like science in the Quran show you this photo of two seas not mixing. But, where is the connection. ?

3. Firstly which ocean in these kind of photos is sweet? Also where is the barrier? What appears in these photos is the meeting of two seas that are different in depths, densities, currents and water turbidity, due to which these seas are of two different colors, but are not the ships, fishes, submarines, intercontinental cables passing by between these two seas? Can’t we take a bucket of water and dip it from the right side and pull it out from the left ? When Allah says the water does not mix, means there has to be a barrier to stop them from mixing.
4. Where is the sea that is sweet? Or palatable? We only acknowledge seas on earth that are salty.
5. Still in the misconception that Al bahrayni is the sea and river ?

The sweet sea is real and it exists. Read ahead to know the truth.

This barrier which Allah speaks of that does not allow the sweet sea and salt sea to mix is the firmament. In other words, the impenetrable barrier that Allah speaks of in other verses about the balance of the heavens which cannot be crossed is the same barrier that keeps the two seas apart.
Ibn Abbas (R) and IbnJubair (R) said it means heaven’s sea and the earth’s sea..and there is a barrier between (Source : Tafsir al Qurtubi)

Does ever-expanding eternal vacuum space exist?
Allah openly challenges mankind and Jinn to try and trespass the heavens,

O company of jinn and mankind, if you are able to pass beyond the regions of the heavens and the earth, then pass. You will not pass except by authority [from Allah ]. (Surah Arrahman verse 33)
Firstly knowing from the Quran, Surah 37 verses 6 to 10 that the stars are placed in the lowest of heaven is a clear sign that intergalactic space does not exist. As soon as we read the word heavens, our pre conceived minds imagine eternal vacuum space that is far from reality. Human race has been indoctrinated over thousands of years in believing the presence of space. The commercial movies industries around the world haveefficiently been used in making people believe in passing the firmament to avoid any kind of catastrophe, or even an apocalypse on earth. Just to a mention few movies like Elysium, Wall - E , oblivion, such movies very casually show how man is in control of his existence and can dodge the Quranic truth about end of times. This slow and repetitive indoctrination has led masses to stray away from faith in the creator and put their trust into governments. Breaking the firmament for atheistic space agencies is as important as breaking the faith of people.

The lowest heaven is a boundary that jinnscannottrespass,(Quran 37:6-10) though Allah has given them capacities to travel vast distances within matter of few seconds. Keeping this in mind, it would be utter stupidity to believe that we can do what the jinnscannot in terms of movement \ travel and breaking the barrier above. The conspiring heliocentric space agencies have convinced the world with fake voyages, computer animated videos and media control. The bottom line is earth is an enclosed eco system made by Allah for us for a short period of testing time, there is no way we can leave this system and wander away from the control of the one who created us. Some food for thought questioning the existence of space.

When it comes to the Book of Enoch, I know many want to dispute whether or not we should consider it canon, or even a valid source for deriving, confirming and/or elaborating on the canonized Biblical truths. Many commentaries have been written giving the various perceived pros can cons of doing so. For me, I have no need to consider it "Scripture." However, I do value it primarily because the authors of Scripture certainly did, even to the point of directly quoting from it, while under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

Concerning the seeming ambiguities of canonized Scripture as it pertains to the issues being addressed here in this essay, I like the way Robert Schadewald handles the Book of Enoch in his online article:

Ambiguities in ancient documents can often be elucidated by consulting contemporary documents. The most important ancient document describing Hebrew cosmology is 1 Enoch (sometimes called the Ethiopic Book of Enoch), one of those long, disjointed, scissors and paste jobs beloved by ancient scribes. For a dozen or so centuries, European scholars knew 1 Enoch only from numerous passages preserved in the patristic literature. In 1773, the Scottish adventurer James Bruce found complete copies in Ethiopia.

Numerous manuscripts of 1 Enoch have since been found in Ethiopian monasteries. Turn of the century scholars concluded that parts of the book are pre-Maccabean, and most (perhaps all) of it was composed by 100 B.C. [Charles, 1913]. These conclusions were largely vindicated when numerous fragments of 1 Enoch were found among the so-called Dead Sea Scrolls at Qumran.

First Enoch is important for another reason. Unlike the canonical books of the Bible, which (in my view) were never meant to teach science, sections of 1 Enoch were intended to describe the natural world. The narrator sometimes sounds like a 2nd century B.C. Carl Sagan explaining the heavens and earth to the admiring masses. The Enochian cosmology is precisely the flat-earth cosmology previously derived from the canonical books.

Whether or not we consider the Book of Enoch to be Scripture is irrelevant. If you at least accept it as having any measure of credibility as a contemporary Biblical commentary, you'll see this concept of a flat/enclosed earth is described in even more detail by its writer(s), thus revealing how the ancient Hebrews viewed the heavens, earth, sun, moon and stars when thy both wrote and read the canonized texts. For Enoch to have been so well preserved in multiple copies in the Dead Sea Scrolls and for authors such as Jude and later "Church Fathers" to quote directly from it, this shows us the book was held in high regard, at least well into the first few centuries AD. I contend it is still worthy of taking notice of in our day as well. Especially, when you consider the opening words of the book:

1 Enoch 1:1. The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked and godless are to be removed. 2. And he took up his parable and said--Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by God, saw the vision of the Holy One in the heavens, which the angels showed me, and from them I heard everything, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a remote one which is for to come.

I believe we are that remote, future generation, that was to come and live "in the day of tribulation." As many of you know, I published a book called, Genesis and the Synchronized, Biblically-Endorsed, Extra-Biblical Texts a couple of years ago, which includes the book of 1 Enoch. In the Introduction to that volume, I wrote that I was putting together a stand-alone version of the Book of Enoch with footnotes and commentary. As I began working on that, I found that when you get to about chapter 17 or so, you start finding some very interesting descriptions of heaven and earth, which sound a lot like the Flat/Enclosed Earth model. We will now explore just a handful of them here.

Operation Highjump, also known as The United States Navy Antarctic Developments Program, 1946-1947, was a US Navy operation to establish the Antarctic research base Little America IV. It was organized by Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd Jr. and led by Rear Admiral Ethan Erik Larson. The operation commenced on August 26, 1946, and ended in late February 1947. Task Force 68 consisted of 4,700 men, 13 ships, 19 airplanes, four helicopters, and a large contingent of scientists. It was the largest and most heavily armed naval task force ever sent to Antarctica.

Operation Deep Freeze is a term used to refer to a series of United States missions to Antarctica, which began in 1955-56 and continued until 1998. The expeditions were military operations run and supported by various American military agencies, with Rear Admiral Byrd as Officer in Charge. These missions included scientific observations, the construction of two more base stations, and many subsequent investigations. The US Navy withdrew officially from Antarctica in 1998. Operation Deep Freeze is also an annual joint interagency mission led by the US Pacific Air Forces to provide logistical and transportation support to the Antarctic.

On July 29, 1958, President Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, establishing the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The agency absorbed the earlier National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), which was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915, to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. Congress began hearings in November 1958 to develop a long-term space plan following the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik in 1957, which galvanized the United States. The NACA conducted aeronautical research that was ultimately transferred to the nascent aerospace industry, which led the U.S. economy into the late 20th century.

Operation Fishbowl was a series of high-altitude nuclear tests conducted by the United States in 1962 as part of the larger Operation Dominic nuclear test program. The tests involved Thor missile-launched warheads detonated at very high altitudes to evaluate the destructive mechanisms and effects of high yield explosions against ballistic missile RVs. The tests consisted of three shots: a non-nuclear System proof test on May 1, 1962, a Blue Gill test on June 1, 1962, and a Star Fish test on June 15, 1962, weighing 1.45 MT at 400 km. Flight-test vehicles were designed and manufactured by Avco Corporation.

On July 16, 1969, the Apollo 11 mission was launched from Cape Kennedy, carrying Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin into an initial Earth-orbit of 114 by 116 miles. It was the first mission to land humans on the Moon, fulfilling a 1961 goal set by President John F. Kennedy to send American astronauts to the surface and return them safely to Earth before the end of the decade. The mission returned 20 kilograms of rock and soil to Earth and paved the way for 5 additional Moon landings that greatly advanced the field of lunar science. The mission was to be the last Apollo mission to fly a “free-return” trajectory, which would enable a return to Earth with no engine firing, providing a ready abort of the mission at any time prior to lunar orbit insertion. The Apollo 11 mission landed on the southwestern edge of the Sea of Tranquility, and Armstrong famously said, "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind."

There are 2 concepts of the Globe or Orb, that we live in. Most scientists claim that we live on Earths surface and the ancients believed, that we are within an enclosed structure known as the firmament. In 1958 the the physicist James Van Allen discovered the ‘ceiling’ was made from radioactive particles, it became known as the Van Allen Belt.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocentric_model

The Belt region has posed an obstacle for those hoping to travel into the high regions and has been a serious blow to the advancement of the Space race. Debate and suspicion regarding the integrity of the moon landings was reconsidered and weighed up against the level of damage the craft and astronauts would have suffered if they went through it. Most satellites drift around in lower orbit.

In 1962, Scientists went to the Pacific to test its nuclear capacity by setting off rockets into the sky, it was known as Operation Fishbowl. Hundred’s of atomic explosions were hurled into space, during this era, making the islands below uninhabitable and causing unknown levels of destruction beneath the sea. It seems as though the rockets exploded below the Belt, however the Ring of Fire in the Pacific region has an unstable ocean floor, the plates can shift, creating earthquakes, tsunamis and setting off volcanoes in the vicinity.
